Be fearless.
But he was human, and
Elijah felt outnumbered.
"I alone am left a prophet of the
Lord," he declared. *
But Elijah was wrong.
7,000 strong had not bowed the
Knee to Baal.
I often feel like Elijah.
When I find myself surrounded by
A debased culture, I wonder
Whether I am the only one who
Still stands for Biblical truth and
Common decency.
I feel defeated.
But the God of Elijah is my
God too, and He says,
"Dorothy, look around you."
I see my Bible study sisters,
My faithful church leaders, my
Fellow believers around the
World who persevere in
Desperate circumstances.
I see an army standing with me, a
Host of brothers and sisters who
Haven't bowed their knees to
Our godless world system but to
The living God.
I'm one of many.
When I open my eyes I can
See them.
*I Kings 19:18
